I have a 2001 2500 SLE quad cab,does anyone know if the CD player has RCA jacks on the back? I wanted to install an amp.
thnx

 

This is a picture of the back of the radio that i found online at this site here http://replacementradios.com/product...products_id=70 Its at the bottom of the page. So I would say that there are no RCA jacks.

thnx for the reply russ, do you know if hee is anything i can do to hook a amp to the stock tunes

 

That i don't know. Im not really good at the audio stuff (i can put aftermarket cd player in and thats about it) I've never put an amp in or subs or anything like that. Hopefully someone else can help you from here on out.

 

im pretty good with audio stuff. ive hooked up systems with 3 amps and 4 subs. so i know a half decent amount. from what ive looked at from the picture you have to get a new radio. they are cheap to get. best buy/ circut city. somewhere along those lines have radios ranging from 150-900... so just pick one up with the wiring harness and just make sure it has the rca jacks in the back. its really easy to hook up the subs the hardest part for me is hiding the wires lol. if you need anymore help let me know.

 

you could just buy a rca converter thing. its a little piece that you wire to your deck on the back that connects to your rear outs or front, doesnt really matter. but the other end of it is RCA out puts. its like 15$ at best buy

 

You dont have to buy a new radio... but it is definitely a good sugestion... The converter that BLKbeast is talkign about is called a Line Out Converter. The best one that i have ever used for a decent price is a David Navone Engineering LOC kit...
that is only $20 and really is the best LOC for the money... here is the link... http://www.davidnavone.com/

btw David Navone is an Audio specialist and will personally help you with any questions you have on installing any of his products so he is a great person to buy from.

 

A new radio is definitely the way to go. Just make sure you don't lose the instructions like I did. Or pull the wiring harness apart. Or lose the nut that holds the new one in. Stuff like that.

 

Get a new radio. That's what I did (though I haven't installed an amp yet).
